Been editing a recent submission for a quarter which has not announced results yet. My tweaks make it better on a word level. A couple of descriptions are clearer, etc. Nothing structurally or plot-wise changed. Does WotF publish winning submissions as-is, or are minor word-level edits like this done first?

2xCritiquer for Published Winners (Oh yeah, it's now a thing)
The editor (newly Dean Wesley Smith) will have edits for the manuscript, and then Galaxy Press (and every publication) does copy edits and proofreading before publication. For example, Dave had a few places he wanted more emotion or more description in my story, and then I had copy edits and several rounds of proofs.

What @RETreasure said. The stories are judged as-submitted, but the winners go through edits before publication.
